Any idea how long gcc44 should take to build on 8 core Pro?
it's tracking over an hour so far with only mail.app for contention.

I don't mind waiting for Mac Ports to build from source on the latest

MacPorts users who can choose a 'turbo' binary option.
The security implications of installing arbitrary binary packages from
random untrusted users are, uh, very alarming to me.
Besides, I can't imagine that a shortage of compute power is the
largest obstacle to having binary packages (which I, too, would love
to
see in MacPorts.)
